You can also just right-click and "View Image in New Tab" or something.
Also, how big is one square?

Improve the cruder houses of the outposts to be more wooden.

Send scouts to scout upstream.

((A single square takes maybe half an hour or so to cross. I've been using chunks of 45 x 45 squares, with each one of those being a day's travel time, so yeah, that amounts to just a little over half an hour per square. Also, which upstream? There are quite a few rivers now.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Assuming an average rate around 3 mph, and eight hours being spent on the move...~12 miles (19.3 km)?

And whichever.))

[Wwolin]

((Where's twelve coming from? Eight hours and three miles per hour would be twenty four.))

[10ebbor10]

((Back and forth, I assume.))

Anyway, I assume we're transporting the wood by boat? If so, we should set up a lumberjack next to the stone outpost. Then we can just let the wood flow downriver rather than having to transport it.

[RulerOfNothing]

One thing we should do now that we have a better source of wood is to improve our woodworking abilities, particularly in the area of constructing watercraft. Also, what technologies do we currently have access to and how is technological development determined?

...Which I misread as half a day. So I halved it.

Start building some sort of a road system (from the stones) and bridges (from the wood) between the two camps and main village.
The forest camp in particular seems to be rather cut off from the other two parts of our civilization, since you can get between the main and hill camps via the river at least.
It also wouldn't be a bad idea to, eventually, start building something on that large peninsula to the east, seems like a good position.

Start building pickaxes in the hill camp.

And at this point I'm genuinely surprised we still haven't run into anyone else throughout the 150 years of our history.
Maybe we should consider at least some rudimentary defensive palisades around the villages, the two camps in particular?

Start building pickaxes out of flint and the harder stone in the hill camp.

Build some rudimentary defensive palisades around the villages, also.

+1. I was going to suggest this, but it seems you beat me to it. Oh, and FTFY. To make eet beeetter.

Why would we build defenses?

So that when suddenly someone decides to pay us a visit we're not literally sitting ducks.

Two things.
1. Why would they be automatically hostile?
2. I mean IC. What would possess our people to waste good wood on obstructing their movement?

[USEC_OFFICER]

I assume that we're building the palisades to keep out wild animals more than anything else. So said defences would be more of a giant fence than an wall.

[GreatWyrmGold]

What kind of wild animals? Big predators have never been mentioned (not that they harass villages with any frequency), and small pests wouldn't be stopped by a fence and only slowed by a wall.

*shrug* No idea. Makes more sense than building defences for people we haven't met yet though.
